Message received regarding value - would this go any further?
Getzlaf
Neal (5.75M)
Jankowski (1.7M)
Kylington
2019 1st
2020 1st
Essentially one of the 1st rounders is for taking Neal, so the package for 2+ years of Getzlaf would be Jankowski, Kylington, and a 1st. That is starting to seem like pretty fair value?

You realize when you trade with another team, you need to give them assets they would actually want right? We don't want Neal, not even with a late 1st added to him. We do not need to add another long term contract for a player on the immediate decline. We do not need Jankowski, a possible 30 point center who is pretty much what he is now. Klyington is a fine piece, but not worth that much in exchange for a our franchise center going to a divisional rival. And another late first is not that interesting either. You have to offer pieces that would hurt, which you clearly aren't doing.

Calgary will never be able to afford Getz unless we are sending a big piece back like Backlund or Brodie and a first rounder plus like a Dube.

You tank the value of the package by adding Neal, but Getzlaf doesn’t fit if you don’t move Neal-type money out. It just doesn’t work
Also, Getzlaf should retire a duck. Anaheim should want him to retire a duck. And if he insists on chasing more cups, they sure as hell won’t move him inside the division, probably not even the conference
Having Getzlaf spend his whole career and retire as a Duck is much more valuable to the franchise than an offer like this, so no

I like Ryan Getzlaf, I might be his biggest proponent that's not a Duck fan on this board. I like the guy, he's always been an ultra stand-up dude and good person every time I interact with him... but in all seriousness, the guy's going to be 34 in a couple months, has never been known as a physical freak, and has had injury problems for the past few seasons. I think Juuso Valimaki is a future 1D in this league.
I think it's one of those things, where one guy puts you over the top for the next 2-3 years; where the other guy will keep you relevant for the next decade +, especially as our 1D is getting older as is.

Considering a trade would likely be in the:
1st + Valimaki + all kinds of other shit to make happen... I just can't get on board. This teams' already looking like they have a chance.

Still not even close. Why would we take a meh D prospect who is nothing we don't already have, another bottom 6 center when we'll have Rowney, Steel, Henrique, Kesler, Shore, and Lundestrom battling for the C spots + Kossila, Kloos, and De Leo in the minors, 2 late 1sts, and one of the worst contracts in the league for our best forward and arguably the best Duck ever, especially to send him to a division rival. Ask yourself that.

What? Cap dump remains, some picks were changed that would be closer to 2nd rounders than meaningful 1sts?
Get the hell out OP with your deals.
I was trying to add a small sliver of value to my terrible, terrible offer. Larsson has been fine on a horrible Ducks team.

& those 2 firsts from Calgary will be the 29th to 31st pick 2 years in a row. I'm betting on them being among the best next season, especially if they got Getzlaf from us.

Getzlaf missed several weeks last year after taking a puck to the face, otherwise he's really been no more or less durable than your average star player, playing 74,77,77,77 games in the seasons prior to last.
I'd even swing the argument the other way and suggest that Getzlaf seems more likely to age gracefully in a similar manner to Thornton, in that he's always relied more on his combination of vision, hands and reach/size a lot more than his skating.

The Flames are 1st in the west with four point per game forwards who are all 25 or younger and they are regularly dressing four dmen who are 21 or younger.
We don't need to start bleeding young assets in order to add a 33 year old who would be the 6th highest scorer on our roster while also being the highest paid guy on the roster. We need to keep assets like Valimaki and our 1st so we can keep our window open as long as possible.

The original offer is garbage but Neal despite not scoring is not a total lost. The Flames do not need to give away their top prospect to get rid of him. He adds good depth up front.
